Free. Free from the bullying. Free from the oppressive ideals of Vikings. Free from Berk. Hiccup decided to think of being unrestricted rather than the sadness that welled up in his chest. The type of sadness that one only gets from leaving the only home, if he could ever call it that, that he had ever known.
Hiccup snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Toothless's whine.
"I'm alright Bud, just a little stuck in the past." Hiccup reassured Toothless.
Hiccup surveyed the vast and mysterious sea surrounding them. Off in the distance to the south he could see tiny specks that are islands.
"Hey Bud, how 'bout we rest over on those islands."
Hiccup heard what he thought was an agreeing sound from Toothless.
